Road resurfacing is to take place shortly on Bruntland Road, Portlethen, which will no doubt cause some disruption.
Work will begin on Monday (26 September) laying an asphalt inlay surface on Bruntland Road at three locations i.e. Cookston Road/Old Portlethen Road/Bruntland Road; Muirend Road/Bruntland Road junction and Berrymuir Road/Bruntland Road junction. This work will take five days.
This work is a continuation of a previous surface dressing scheme which was carried out in July.
A letter was delivered to residents in the Cookston Road / Bruntland Road area earlier this week which explains in more detail Aberdeenshire Council’s plans.
The roadworks have created problems for Stagecoach Bluebird and also school buses operated by large vehicles. There will be a temporary stop on Bruntland Road to ensure the kids are dropped off at the correct side of the road for phase 1 and the school has been informed. The council’s public transport unit has asked the roads department to keep them informed of when phase 2 will start .
Here is the information from Stagecoach:
“Due to roadworks scheduled to start on 27th September to 1st October around Bruntland Road, Portlethen the following diversion will be in place.
Phase 1
Services will route via Muirend Road, Bruntland Road, Berrymuir Road back on to Bruntland Road and Muirend Road.
Phase 2
Service will route along Muirend Raod and double back from the roundabout to Cookston Road then along Bruntland Road to Berrymuir Road, Oak Drive and back on to Bruntland Road.”
